Danielle was the daughter of Tracy Reid and Stanley Wells Jnr.
Tracy moved Danielle away from her family and friends to live with her new boyfriend Lee Gaytor in
Inverness, Tracy then lost contact with everyone from her home area,and little Danielle had no
option of any form of contact with her daddy,grandparents,aunts,uncles,cousins,half brothers and
half sisters.
Danielle's short life came to an abrupt end when her mother's lover savagely beat her and threw her
down a flight of stairs.
Danielle survived the attack for at least two hours but Reid failed to get any medical help and left
her to die in her room.
Later, she put her daughter's body in a suitcase weighed down with rocks and tiles and chatted
casually to her boyfriend's brother as she went to hurl it into the Caledonian Canal.
Lee Gaytor's brother Christopher had been drinking alongside Reid's Mothers partner. As midnight
neared on Hogmanay, he suddenly blurted out that Lee had "done in the bairn". The man made him
repeat the allegation in front of a doorman before calling the police.
Tracy and Lee later gave various and conflicting stories about the little girl's last hours, but it
seems Lee - probably under the influence of drugs - beat the girl while alone in the house with her.
Tracy returned to find her daughter wounded but alive, but did not act to save her. They then
enlisted Chris to help dispose of the body.Within days Tracy, Lee and Chris were all in custody, and
Chris had led the police to the spot where they had dumped Danielle's body
Danielles little body was recovered three months later in a suitcase in the Caledionian Canal in
Inverness, her little body was beyond identification
Charges were brought against all three involved in Danielles death ~
Lee Gaytor : 15 years for Murder
Tracey Reid : 8 years for failing to get medical help
and perverting the course of justice.
Christopher Gaytor : 18 months for perverting the course of justice by helping to dispose of the
body.
Yet again this is a tragic case of yet another individual " being let down by the system "
Rest in peace Danielle, you have touched the hearts of so many people, you are loved and missed each
and every day
XX LOVED ALWAYS, NEVER FORGOTTEN XX
thinking of you danielle on your angel day sweetheart have a lovely day with your angel friends xxxx
Lay down my child
Close your eyes one more time
Let the night take you softly into sleep
Sure as the moon shining on your sweet face
Be rest assured you will be safe
In this place
The sweetest gift
God has given me
Graced with the tiniest beauty
These eyes have seen
Soft as the song of a winter wind
Sheltered by love
A love that will never end
Life so often a mystery
And each of us seeking a clue
To an answer I never thought I’d find
When I lost you
But in your time with me
Somehow you taught me to see
Just as in life
Even in death
You always will be here with me
So lay down my child
Close your eyes one more time
Let the night take you softly into sleep
And on to your maker you will fly
Low as the angels sing you a lullaby
Lay down my child
Close your eyes one more time
Let the night take you softly into sleep
Sure as the moon shining on your sweet face
Be rest assured you will be safe
In this place
The sweetest gift
God has given me
Graced with the tiniest beauty
These eyes have seen
Soft as the song of a winter wind
Sheltered by love
A love that will never end
Life so often a mystery
And each of us seeking a clue
To an answer I never thought I’d find
When I lost you
But in your time with me
Somehow you taught me to see
Just as in life
Even in death
You always will be here with me
So lay down my child
Close your eyes one more time
Let the night take you softly into sleep
And on to your maker you will fly
Low as the angels sing you a lullaby
Come, dry your tears, smile again, love,
I’m only a whisper away,
Near in the dusk of the evening,
Just out of sight through the day.
Watching you waking and sleeping,
Hearing each prayer that you pray,
Sending my love to surround you,
I’m only a whisper away.
Come, dry your tears, smile again, love,
Remember the good times
we’ve known,
Cherish the joy we discovered -
Love that was planted and grown.
Your road may seem lonely ahead,
And distant horizons look grey,
You won’t be walking alone, dear,
I’m only a whisper away.
♥ A Letter From Heaven ♥
I am writing this from heaven,
where I dwell with God above,
where there’s no more tears or sadness,
there is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy
because I’m out of sight,
remember that I’m with you,
every morning, noon and night.
And I will be beside you,
every day, and week, and year,
and when you’re sad I’m standing there
to wipe away the tear.
But one thing is for certain,
though my life on earth’s no more,
I am closer to you now
than I ever was before.
And when its time for you to go,
from that body to be free,
remember that you’re not going away,
you’re coming home to me.
And I will always love you,
from this happy land above,
I’ll soon be in touch again
with you; PS God sends his love.

MISSING YOU~

We may no longer be together
As you're not here with me anymore
But I still feel you deep in my heart
Just the same as it was before.
When I gaze up at Heaven to you
And you look down on me
Our smiles light up the whole sky
For all of Heaven and Earth to see.
Knowing that you are at peace
Brings comfort to my sad heart
And I know God will take care of you
Now that we are apart.
Until we are together again
And sharing our heavenly home
I will always have my Angel in Heaven
Smiling down on me, and never be alone...

They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason,
will change the way we feel.
For no one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times,
We have broken down and cried.
We want to tell you something,
So there won’t be any doubt,
You’re so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without.
We cannot bring the old days back,
When we were all together,
The family chain is broken now,
But memories live forever
LOVE AND HUGS FOR YOU LOVE HALINA XX
. . REMEMBER ME . . .
I never meant to leave you,
Could I have only stayed;
We would be going on in life,
With all the plans we made.
Now all the hopes and dreams we shared,
Are but sweet memories;
For you to tuck inside your heart,
Now when you remember me.
Remember all the good times,
And all the joy we shared;
Remember how you touched my life,
And how I really cared.
Think back on all the laughter,
And wipe away your tears;
You still have many miles to go,
And still have many years.
Don't look back....look forward,
This day is a brand new start;
And as you travel on in life,
You'll take a bit of my heart.
I never meant to leave you,
But still you'll not be alone;
For as long as my love lives in you,
I'll never really be gone.
If we could visit heaven,ღ♥ღ
Even for a day,ღ♥ღ
Maybe for a moment,ღ♥ღ
The pain would go away,ღ♥ღ
I'd put my arms around you,ღ♥ღ
And whisper words so true,ღ♥ღ
That living life without you,ღ♥ღ
Is the hardest thing to do.ღ♥ღ
No matter how we spend our days,ღ♥ღ
No matter what we do,ღ♥ღ
No morning dawns or evening falls,ღ♥ღ
When we don't think of you xx.ღ♥ღ
Precious Child
by Karen Taylor Good
In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
'Cause you are with me still
In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart
In my plans, I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, my precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart there is hope
And you are with me still
In my heart you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon,
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart
God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And maybe there's a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until then
In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart
